Help me give my students a trauma-informed environment with the opportunity to use trauma-informed strategies that include using tactile and sensory manipulatives and tools. Also included are group and individual activities and games that focus on social-emotional well-being.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
ATC is a college preparatory school enrolling 390 students in grades 7 through 12. The school opened in the fall of 2001 and graduated its first senior class in the spring of 2002. ATC is accredited by the New Mexico Department of Education and our charter is held by the Santa Fe Public School District.
ATC admissions is lottery-based. Students and families self-select to attend this academically rigorous school.
ATC creates confident and successful students through a unique small school culture that values and promotes diversity, work ethic, and self-advocacy. With racial, religious, ethnic, economic and LBGTQ diversity, our students contribute positively to any university setting.
My Project
In my school counseling office, I am seeing more and more students with anxiety-related behaviors that interfere with the learning environment. Students that learn the skills to self-regulate will be more ready to learn. Additionally, teaching students about the brain and about trauma will add to their toolbox for self-regulation.
Among the materials, I have included group sharing prompts, a variety of sensory manipulatives, colored pencils and coloring books, information about the brain in a chart related to anxiety, and "stress-balls".
I have also included a storage container and disinfectant wipes to keep items clean and tissue for students when they have outward signs of emotion.
